INGREDIENTS
7 ounces Cod Fillet (200g)
8 Asparagus Spears (134g)
1 tablespoon Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (14g)
1 Garlic Clove (3g)
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Pat the cod fillet dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Add half the olive oil to the hot skillet and sear the cod for about 3 minutes on each side until it turns golden and the inside is just opaque.
While the cod is cooking, prepare the asparagus by rinsing and trimming the woody ends.
Place the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water and add the garlic clove (you can leave it whole for a milder flavor or smash it slightly for a stronger infusion). Steam for about 4-5 minutes until tender yet crisp.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the steamed asparagus, and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Plate the seared cod alongside the asparagus and serve immediately.
